Hello, it's Alicia inviting you to a tea party today. I recently purchased the Frantic Stamper's Your Cup Of Tea die set. I immediately tracked down an Alice in Wonderland image to pair with the dies. I love Alice and have a small collection of stamps but I ended up with this printable image. I printed on white glossy and it was a bit stark so after cutting with Frantic Stamper Stitched Rounded Rectangle dies I distressed with some complimentary green ink.
I cut the flower accent a couple of times, once in green vellum and once in red. I cut away the red leaves and adhered the red flower to the center of the green vellum cut. The senitment is an Alice stamp from my stash, I used a punch to frame it. I inked all the edges with chalk ink for highlighting dimension and softening the cut edges.

ReplyDeleteHi Alicia, what a great looking "tea party". Love those characters from the book and the way you've left them in black and white. Love the stitching around the curved rectangle, too. What a great idea to alternate the smooth cardstocks with the textured ones. Great use of your die-cuts. They compliment the scene and card perfectly. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
